Lorena Wiebes takes sprint win on opening stage of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas

Lorena Wiebes powered to a brilliant sprint victory on the opening stage of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas.
Stage 1 saw the riders head into Medina de Pomar. A 115-kilometre stage the most likely result was a regular bunch sprint. Nevertheless, Valeria Valgonen (Massi - Tactic Women Team) tried a breakaway and was a lone carrot for the peloton to chase.
With Valgonen never being allowed much more than a minute advantage, her chances of victory were incredibly slim.
30km to go and the race was all back together Valgonen having been swallowed up by the peloton.
As the race reached the finale attacks started to come thick and fast at the front of the peloton and whilst none were able to create a meaningful gap the constant move were surely sapping the energy from the legs.
With all the GC riders safely through the 3km to go marker, attentions turned to the bunch sprint.
In the final sprint, it was European Champion Lorena Wiebes who powered to victory ahead of Elisa Balsamo in second and Chloe Dygert in third.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
